I have never identified to a song as much as I do right now to ‘‘Please Mr. Postman’’.
‘‘Mister postman look and see
Is there a letter in your bag for me
I been waiting a long long time.
I been standing here waiting Mister postman
So patiently
For just a card or just a letter’’.
Long time lurker here applying to CAS Economics from NJ.
Just realized that I forgot to mention something on my application that would have probably helped my application a pretty significant amount… Oh well.
Good luck to everyone here, you guys are all awesome
The alumni who interviewed me several days ago told me that he wrote me a glowing review to Cornell University and wish me best of the luck. Does any one have idea about what does “glowing review” refer to , and does it help in terms of admissions?
@jf2580 The “glowing review” would be the report the alumni sends back to Cornell. It does help, but only marginally. When I went to the information session they told us the alumni interview is more for us than for them.
I had a dream last night that I didn’t get in… dreams are supposed to be opposite right? RIGHT??? When I took my first SAT I had a dream that the format was all whack and that I stole the test… I’m going to assume for my sanity that dreams are opposite to reality
@princess23101
Maybe your dreams represent the worries of life
Don’t worry… If you get in, congratulations. If you don’t, well, maybe Cornell isn’t the right fit for you. Have faith in the admission officer’s decisions… They have much more experience than we do and I’m sure you’ll be happy wherever you go.
@jf2580 Well not necessarily. They said that if you were late or something and the alumni mentioned it in their report it wouldn’t look too hot. But, yeah generally you’d get a good review but if the alumni reallly liked you they might gush about you a bit more than normal.
@kuftw99 I’m skipping Friday if I get accepted haha but I need something tomorrow to pass the time WHY CAN’T THEY JUST RELEASE THE RESULTS ALREADY. I don’t understand college.
So I’m reading a lot of ‘‘I’m skipping class if I get accepted’’. So, what do you plan to do? I mean, the least thing I would do if i got accepted is skip class. If you get rejected it’s reasonable to stay put.
